Randy Bachman on Mulligan Stew

EP 390 | Randy Bachman Master Storyteller on The Guess Who & BTO

May 16, 2026 Mulligan Stew Podcast, Tasting Room Radio 0:48:32

hello

We welcome a long time friend – Canadian music legend Randy Bachman (The Guess Who & BTO)

Once again, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and got to experience the lift off of the first Canadian artist to hit #1 in the USA.

Before they became world famous, they were another prairie band trying to get the bosses in Toronto to notice them.

I was at CJME and CKCK in Regina, and over one early 60’s summer, they spent the hot months playing at beach parties and small halls.

One after the other.

Then the hits started to roll, and I ended up going to London, UK, with them, to cover the story.

Except the story was a bust.

 Poorly planned on the London end, they played a couple of tv shows and came home.

Then came These Eyes,  American Woman and fame.

After the Guess Who split up, another set of musicians decided to take the name and run with it, for 13 years.

Legalities carried on for many years, but eventually Randy and Burrton Cummings..the two original guys, got the name back and that’s why the upcoming Guess Who Tour is called the ” taking it back tour.”

Ep 389 | Chris Wood – The Wood Brothers. New album Puff of Smoke

May 10, 2026 Mulligan Stew Podcast, Tasting Room Radio 0:38:41

hello

Chris Wood – The Wood Brothers. New album Puff of Smoke

 

The complete interview

Big fan of Medeski. Martin and Wood.
Then followed the Wood  Brothers through 9 albums.
The media and music fans painted the brothers as a Jam Band. They are anything but.
Jazz and roots/ blues driven with themes and lyrics that dive into human behaviour.
Almost all songs are wrapped in a sensual groove.
All songs written and created by an amazing trio. Chris’s brother Oliver and Jano Rix, who’ll play any instrument put in front of him.
New album – Puff of Smoke is the best yet.
The Brothers are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Ways not to Love.

Chris’s personal journey has taken him to a beautiful Wilder Wood farm on Pender Island, one of the jewels in the Gulf Islands on the West Coast of BC.
He and his biologist wife farm organic vegetables and sell them at the Pender Farm Market on the island.
A percentage of the brothers’ ticket sales goes to helping farmers. On both sides of the border.


I caught up with Chris in an airport heading for an opening tour gig in Scottsdale, Arizona.
In the complete interview on the Mulligan Stew Podcast, he finished the chat walking to the gate.
The Wood Brothers played the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on May 9.

May 9, 2026 Mulligan Stew

hello

A confession!

I loved playing and listening to   Medeski. Martin and Wood.
Then I followed The Wood  Brothers through 9 albums.

Makes me a fan.   Chris Wood was/is a vital member of both bands.

The media and some music fans painted the brothers as a Jam Band. They are anything but.

EP 389 | Robert Schwartzman and Colin Blunstone interview HUNG UP ON A DREAM: THE ZOMBIES DOCUMENTARY

April 13, 2026 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

The Zombies Documentary on Mulligan Stew

60 years later, we welcome Colin Blunstone, Lead singer of The Zombies
How is it possible that an English band that was part of the British Invasion of the early ’60s is still being played and referenced in 2025?
The band was The Zombies.
The two leaders were songwriter and singer Rod Argent and lead singer Colin Blunstone.
They had three world hits. A fourth hit the charts after they had broken up.
Many years later, they were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
I always loved the sound of the Zombies. A singular mix of rock, blues and very cool jazz. In a sea of sameness, Colin’s vocals were unmistakable.
Great harmonies lifted each song, and the arrangements were unlike anyone else in “The Invasion”.
Now, along comes Hung up on a dream,  a documentary capturing their careers and lives. Directed by Robert Schwartzman.

EP 388 | Ron Sexsmith on Gordon Lightfoot

April 5, 2026 Mulligan Stew Podcast 0:26:03

hello

EP 388 | Ron Sexsmith on Gordon Lightfoot

Ron Sexsmith is 19 albums into a singular career. His songwriting has been admired by his many peers. There’s only one voice like his – which is a blessing in a sea of wouldda/coulda/shoulda.
Ron Sexsmith on Mulligan Stew

If you asked him to compare his songs with his idol Gordon Lightfoot, Ron will admit there are few artists as good as  Gordon Lightfoot was but he continues to honour him.
This Wednesday and Thursday Ron performs at two sold out Lightfoot Memorial  concerts at the National Music Center in Calgary. In Bell hall.

On this week’s Mulligan Stew Podcast Ron Sexsmith opens up about his admiration for Gord. A true storyteller, telling tales.
Ron Sexsmith honours  Gord Lightfoot.
